It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, for clarity, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals are used to denote the same devices, and therefore their description will be omitted.

[0046] Combination Figures 1 to 15 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of this application, a lock cover is provided.

[0047] Specifically, the lock cover includes a lock cover body 10, which has a protective space 110 extending along a first preset direction. The protective space 110 is used to accommodate at least part of the protected component. The lock cover body 10 includes multiple lock cover units 120, which are arranged sequentially along a second preset direction to form the protective space 110. Adjacent lock cover units 120 are detachably connected by external fasteners 20. A groove structure 130 is also provided on the outer peripheral surface of the lock cover body 10. The groove structure 130 is used to accommodate the head of the external fastener 20.

[0048] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the protected component may include two interconnected parts. The connection position of the two parts in the protected component is placed within the protection space 110, which can reduce the external influence on the connection position. The detachable lock cover unit 120 can facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the lock cover. The groove structure 130 for accommodating the external fastener 20 can prevent the external fastener 20 from being exposed, so that the external fastener 20 is hidden in the groove structure 130. It is not easy to directly observe the specific structure of the external fastener 20 from the outside, which makes it impossible to quickly determine the corresponding disassembly tool, increases the difficulty of disassembling the lock cover, improves the anti-theft security of the protected component, and solves the problem of poor anti-theft capability caused by the connection position of the parts being exposed to the environment in the prior art.

[0049] In this embodiment, the groove structure 130 for accommodating the head of the external fastener 20 should be understood as follows: after the external fastener 20 connects to the lock cover unit 120, the head of the external fastener 20 is located inside the groove structure 130. At this time, the maximum distance between the external fastener 20 and the geometric center of the lock cover body 10 is less than or equal to the minimum distance between the opening end of the groove structure 130 and the geometric center of the lock cover body 10, so that the external fastener 20 is hidden inside the groove structure 130, making it difficult to directly observe the specific structure of the external fastener 20 from the outside. This makes it difficult to quickly determine the corresponding disassembly tool during disassembly, increasing the difficulty of disassembly and improving the anti-theft security of the lock cover.

[0050] It should be noted that the external fasteners 20 used for detachable connection can be of various types. For example, mechanical locks, snaps, or other structures can be provided on two adjacent lock cover units 120 to achieve detachable connection.

[0051] Preferably, when there are two locking cover units 120, the second preset direction is perpendicular to the first preset direction; when there are three or more locking cover units 120, the second preset direction is the circumferential direction of the protected space 110.

[0052] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, when there are two lock cover units 120, the second preset direction is perpendicular to the first preset direction. After the two lock cover units 120 are connected, a protective space 110 can be formed. When there are three or more lock cover units 120, the first preset direction is the axial direction of the protective space 110, and the second preset direction is the circumferential direction of the protective space 110. The protected component can be set in the protective space 110 along the axial direction of the protective space. That is to say, multiple lock cover units 120 can be detachably connected along the circumferential direction of the protected component. When installing the lock cover, multiple lock cover units 120 are connected to each other along the circumferential direction of the protected component to form a protective space 110 surrounding the protected component. Furthermore, since the protective space 110 is through-type, both ends of the protected component can pass through normally to facilitate the normal use of the protected component.

[0053] Specifically, when there are two locking units 120, the second preset direction can be the width direction of the protected space 110 (e.g., Figure 1 As shown in the figure, it can also be the height direction of the protective space 110 (not shown in the figure). In this case, the through direction of the protective space 110, that is, the first preset direction, refers to the length direction of the protective space 110.

[0054] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, there are two locking cover units 120, which are detachably connected along the width direction of the protective space 110. The cross-section of each locking cover unit 120 is semi-circular along the height direction of the protective space 110. Each locking cover unit 120 includes a main housing extending along the length direction of the protective space 110 and shielding housings disposed opposite to each other at both ends of the main housing along the length direction of the protective space 110. The shielding housings of the two locking cover units 120 located at the same end are disposed opposite to each other to form an opening for the protected object to extend into or out of. The main housing covers the top and at least part of the bottom of the protected object, so that the final protective space 110 has a sealed top surface, reducing external damage. To minimize the entry of external impurities into the protective space 110, the edges of the shielding housings of the locking cover unit 120 can be matched as closely as possible to the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the protected object to reduce the gap between the opening edge of the protective space 110 and the protected object.

[0055] Taking a wire harness connector as an example, the wire harness connector has a connector plug, which is used to connect with another connector to achieve normal power supply, signal transmission, and other functions. After multiple locking cover units 120 are connected circumferentially along the connector plug, the connection point between the connector plug and the other connector is located within the protective space 110. That is, at this time, both the connector plug and the other connector of the wire harness connector are wrapped by the locking cover. The locking cover can effectively protect the connection point between the connector plug and the other connector, avoiding damage such as external impacts. At the same time, in the event of theft, the protective function of the locking cover can prevent the wire harness connector from being directly pulled out. The wire harness connector can only be disassembled after the locking cover is removed. Therefore, the locking cover has a certain anti-theft function, further improving the anti-theft security of the wire harness connector.

[0056] Optionally, the external fastener 20 includes a fastening bolt 210, and a bolt hole 140 that mates with the fastening bolt 210 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the lock cover body 10. The bottom of the groove structure 130 is connected to the bolt hole 140.

[0057] In this embodiment, the fastening bolt 210 extends into the bolt hole 140 to securely connect adjacent lock cover units 120. After connection, the head of the fastening bolt 210 is located within the groove structure 130, effectively concealing the head of the fastening bolt 210. This prevents direct external observation of the bolt type, enhancing the anti-theft security of the lock cover. Using bolt fastening offers advantages such as lower cost, convenient assembly and disassembly, and good connection stability.

[0058] Specifically, when using fastening bolts 210 for connection, the groove structure 130 can be directly set as a recessed platform structure.

[0059] Furthermore, the fastening bolt 210 is coated with adhesive. By applying adhesive, the fastening bolt 210 can be more tightly connected to the side wall of the bolt hole 140, thereby improving the connection stability between the locking cover units 120.

[0060] Specifically, in one exemplary embodiment of this application, the adhesive is threadlocker (also known as thread locking agent). When the threadlocker is applied to the fastening bolt 210 and the fastening bolt 210 is screwed into the bolt hole 140, the threadlocker is filled in the tiny gaps of the thread engagement and gradually changes from a liquid state to a hard solid plastic, effectively preventing the threaded connection from loosening due to vibration, impact or thermal cycling.

[0061] It should be understood that when using fastening bolt 210 for connection, bolt hole 140 is a threaded hole closed at one end. After screwing in fastening bolt 210, fastening nut is used to lock fastening bolt 210. Fastening nut should be located in groove structure 130 and not exposed on the outer circumference of lock cover body 10. That is, the model of fastening nut cannot be directly observed from the outside.

[0062] In practical applications, fastening screws or other structures can be used to replace fastening bolts 210 for connection and fastening. After the connection is completed, the head of the fastening screw is located in the groove structure 130.

[0063] Furthermore, the lock cover body 10 is also provided with a hollow structure 150, and the protective space 110 is connected to the external environment through the hollow structure 150.

[0064] In this embodiment, the hollow structure 150 can serve as a discharge channel for pollutants (such as water droplets, mud, stones, etc.) in the protective space 110, reducing the amount of pollutants deposited in the protective space 110 and preventing excessive deposits in the protective space 110 from affecting the protected component.

[0065] It should be understood that, to improve the sewage discharge effect, the perforated structure 150 is usually set at the bottom of the protective space 110. In practical applications, a suitable number of perforated structures 150 can also be opened on the side walls and top of the protective space 110 to further improve the discharge efficiency of pollutants within the protective space 110. Specifically, the perforated structure is usually multiple perforations of different sizes, or it can also be set as a single perforation with a larger diameter.

[0066] Preferably, the material of the lock cover body 10 is either plastic or aluminum.

[0067] In this embodiment, plastic material has the advantages of being lightweight, having strong insulation and being corrosion resistant, which can improve the insulation and durability of the lock cover body 10. Aluminum material has the advantages of being high in strength, having good heat dissipation and strong stability, which can improve the structural stability of the lock cover body 10.

[0068] According to another specific embodiment of this application, a connector assembly is provided, including a lock cover, which is the lock cover in the above embodiment.

[0069] In this embodiment, applying a lock cover to the connector assembly can effectively protect the connector from external influences and improve the connector's anti-theft performance.

[0070] Specifically, the connector assembly also includes a first connector 30 and a second connector (not shown in the figure). The first connector 30 and the second connector are matched and configured, with the connection point between the first connector 30 and the second connector located within the protective space 110. This configuration protects the connection point while utilizing the shielding function of the lock cover to achieve the anti-theft function of the connector assembly. That is, due to the protective effect of the lock cover, the first connector 30 and the second connector cannot be directly disassembled, thus achieving the anti-theft purpose.

[0071] Optionally, either the first connector 30 or the second connector is detachably connected to the lock cover.

[0072] In this embodiment, by connecting either the first connector 30 or the second connector to the lock cover, the connection stability between the lock cover and the first connector 30 or the second connector can be increased, reducing displacement caused by shaking. At the same time, the detachable connection method facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement of the lock cover.

[0073] Specifically, detachable connection methods may include bolt connections, screw connections, etc.

[0074] Optionally, either the first connector 30 or the second connector is provided with a first mating structure, and a second mating structure 160 is provided on the side wall of the protective space 110. The second mating structure 160 is matched with the first mating structure to limit and fix the lock cover body 10.

[0075] In this embodiment, by setting the second mating structure 160 and the first mating structure, the shaking of the first connector 30 and the second connector in the protective space 110 can be reduced, making the connection between the first connector 30 and the second connector, and the connection between the lock cover and the connector assembly more stable.

[0076] Specifically, the first and second mating structures 160 can be configured with specific structures according to actual needs to achieve limiting and fixing in different directions. For example, the second mating structure 160 can be a stop step located on the top surface of the protective space 110, and the first mating structure can be a stop protrusion on the upper surface of the first connector 30. The stop protrusion abuts against the stop step, which can effectively limit the relative swaying of the first connector 30 and the lock cover in the height direction. Similarly, the second connector can also be configured with a first mating structure to reduce the relative swaying between the second connector and the lock cover.

[0077] Optionally, the first mating structure and the second mating structure 160 can also be configured as mutually matching positioning grooves and positioning protrusions, or positioning posts and positioning holes, etc.

[0078] like Figure 16 and Figure 17As shown, according to another specific embodiment of this application, an electronic control assembly is provided, including a connector assembly, which is the connector assembly in the above embodiment.

[0079] Applying the connector assembly from the above embodiments to the electronic control assembly can effectively protect the connectors in the electronic control assembly from external damage. Furthermore, since the lock cover is detachable, it also facilitates future maintenance and replacement.

[0080] It should be noted that the electronic control assembly in this embodiment refers to an electrically driven system assembly. The electronic control assembly typically includes multiple electrically driven structural components and wiring harnesses for power transmission. The ends of the wiring harnesses are usually equipped with connectors (i.e., plugs) for connection to external power supply equipment. Alternatively, the electronic control assembly may also include signal wiring harnesses for connection to external devices to transmit signals. For example, the electronic control assembly could be a rear brake caliper with an electronic parking brake assembly on a vehicle.

[0081] Furthermore, the electronic control assembly includes a main body 40, on which a third mating structure 410 is provided, and a fourth mating structure 170 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the lock cover body 10. The fourth mating structure 170 is matched with the third mating structure 410 to limit and fix the lock cover body 10.

[0082] In this embodiment, by setting a fourth mating structure 170 and a third mating structure 410 that cooperate with each other, the connection stability between the lock cover and the electronic control assembly can be enhanced, and the shaking of the lock cover can be reduced.

[0083] Specifically, the fourth mating structure 170 and the third mating structure 410 can be configured with specific structures according to actual needs to achieve limiting and fixing in different directions. For example, the fourth mating structure 170 is a mating groove provided at the bottom of the lock cover, and the third mating structure 410 is a stop rib provided on the outer shell of the main body 40. The stop rib extends along the width direction of the first connector 30, and the mating groove is matched with the stop rib. By the mating of the stop rib and the stop groove, the swaying and displacement of the lock cover in the length direction of the first connector 30 can be limited.

[0084] Optionally, the fourth mating structure 170 and the third mating structure 410 can also be configured as mutually matching positioning grooves and positioning protrusions, or positioning pins and positioning holes, etc.

[0085] like Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, this application also provides a preferred embodiment of an electronic control assembly, wherein the electronic control assembly is a rear brake caliper with electronic parking brake assembly, the rear brake caliper with electronic parking brake assembly includes a main body 40 and a first connector 30, and the second connector is a connector for the drive unit.

[0086] To facilitate the explanation of the technical effects of this embodiment, the first connector 30 of the rear brake caliper with electronic parking brake assembly in the prior art is described as follows:

[0087] Existing designs for rear brake caliper assemblies with electronic parking brakes have some shortcomings. For example, the structural design of some existing rear brake caliper assemblies with electronic parking brakes may not fully meet the stringent anti-theft security requirements of the UK NVSA insurance rating. (Note: NVSA has tests requiring that the connection between the rear brake caliper assemblies with electronic parking brakes and the wiring harness not be exposed to the accessible environment and that they withstand a maximum of 120 seconds of theft attack.)

[0088] In this embodiment, an EPB (Electronic Park Brake) lock cover is installed on the existing rear brake caliper with electronic parking brake assembly to meet the anti-theft security requirements for rear brake caliper with electronic parking brake assembly in the UK NVSA insurance rating standards. At the same time, the EPB lock cover design in this embodiment better meets the UK NVSA regulations for parking security, ensuring the anti-theft performance of the vehicle's rear brake caliper connector even under extreme conditions (i.e., it can withstand attack tests far exceeding 120 seconds).

[0089] Specifically, in this embodiment, the structure of the EPB lock cover matches the connection position between the first connector 30 and the second connector, as well as the special structure on the overall body 40, to achieve the self-limiting function of the EPB lock cover. The EPB lock cover uses two special aluminum prototypes (i.e., the aforementioned lock cover unit 120) fastened with threaded adhesive bolts to protect the connector connection (i.e., the connection position between the first connector 30 and the second connector), thus achieving a protective and anti-theft function at the connector connection. The EPB lock cover in this embodiment has the following characteristics:

[0090] 1) The bolt recess structure prevents the bolt type from being easily observed from the outside, and the hidden fastening structure arrangement increases the anti-theft performance and makes it more difficult for thieves to dismantle the vehicle.

[0091] 2) The bottom hollow design allows mud and water to drain easily, preventing them from accumulating, reducing mud and water intrusion into the connector, reducing the impact of EPB lock cover on mud and water accumulation at the connection, avoiding affecting connector performance, and meeting safety requirements.

[0092] 3) By using threaded rubber bolts for fastening, the EPB lock cover is made more difficult to remove, increasing its anti-theft properties.

[0093] The EPB lock cover in this embodiment has undergone vibration durability and mud and water durability tests. It is attached to the rear brake caliper with electronic parking brake assembly and will not affect the performance of the assembly, nor will it fall off due to vibration.

[0094] It should be noted that the EPB locking cover in this embodiment also has the following alternative:

[0095] 1) Install the EPB lock cover by generating threaded holes in the MGU (Motor Generator Unit) housing, wherein the MGU is the second connector that is connected to the first connector 30.

[0096] 2) Deformation through combinations in different directions, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lock shown is designed to connect from left to right, and can be modified to connect from top to bottom for locking.

[0097] 3) The EPB lock cover is assembled and connected by using a mechanical locking mechanism and mortise and tenon structure instead of bolt fastening.

[0098] 4) Change the material of the EPB lock cover to plastic, etc.

[0099] According to another specific embodiment of this application, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle including an electronic control assembly, the electronic control assembly being the same as the electronic control assembly in the above embodiment.

[0100] In this embodiment, by applying the electronic control assembly described in the above embodiments, the risk of theft of electronic control assembly components in the vehicle can be reduced.

[0101] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0102] In addition to the above, it should be noted that the terms "one embodiment," "another embodiment," and "embodiment" used in this specification refer to specific features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment, which are included in at least one embodiment described in the general description of this application. The appearance of the same expression in multiple places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with any embodiment, the intention is to suggest that implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments also falls within the scope of this utility model.

[0103] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.

[0104] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
